frustrate - inflate new tire

motojo · 03-18-2009, 06:33 AM

Hi all,
I have just completed my first tubeless tire dismount / mount. I cleaned the beads of the rim well and installed a new valve stem. Problem is - I can't inflate the tire and get it to jump up on the bead. I have a good air compressor with over 100psi. I even tried a ratcheting tie down wrapped once around the circumference of the tire to no avail. I removed the guts from the valve stem but then I can't get any air to come out of the air chuck. At wits end - how do I get this thing inflated?
